May Day Countdown

Countdown to May Day. Reverse travel during the May Day holiday, you can just copy this guide to the secret places in western Zhejiang❗️
Three days left until the May Day holiday! Have you made your travel plans?

It is no surprise that major cities including Nanjing will be hot again this time. The crowds of people are so crowded that I don’t think it’s an experience at all😭

I drove to Wuyuan with my friends before. The unique natural scenery and the charm of ancient Huizhou attracted many people there. Do you think I would recommend you to go there on May Day? I believe there is also a huge traffic jam there😂

From Wuyuan to Zhejiang, there are mountains and ridges, and the mountain road is 18 bends, reaching the source of Qiantang River at an altitude of 700 meters. I have found a super niche secret place in western Zhejiang between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for everyone.

📍Fanjie·Xingxiu Gaotian Resort, Kaihua County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province

I drove five hours from Nanjing just for this view of the mountains and fields outside the window. During this trip, we fully experienced the simplicity of Zhejiang's ancient villages and were also pleasantly surprised to discover some unique modern designs.

Highlights❗️Don't miss these places, I recommend you to collect them❤️:

Picture 2️⃣: The century-old Guanyin Bridge at the entrance is the sign of entering the village
Pictures 3️⃣-4️⃣: The thousand-year-old ancient yew, climbing the steps, you can see the whole picture of the yellow rammed earth buildings in Gaotiankeng Village
Picture 5️⃣: The mountains and fields are full of greenery, and you can hear the gurgling of mountain springs and the sound of frogs at night
Picture 6️⃣: The starry sky roof and the terrace above have a wide view, giving nature a deep embrace
Pictures 7️⃣-1️⃣1️⃣: In addition to the natural beauty, the starry sky bookstore, starry sky cafe, starry sky park (a must-go for taking your kids out), the village market and the handicraft workshop can also meet different needs
Pictures 1️⃣2️⃣: The dark night planetarium on the top of the mountain, friends who love astronomical observation should not miss it. Figure 1️⃣3️⃣: There is a beautiful stargazing platform on the top of the mountain at night, which is definitely a rare fantasy experience

In addition, the village has introduced mountain spring water and is still adhering to the ancient fish farming techniques. The fish are all lively and you can get a glimpse of the clear water at the source of the Qiantang River.

On the way back to Kaihua County, you will pass Taihui Mountain, known as the "Potala Palace of Jiangnan", and its buildings are all on terraced fields. The sea of rapeseed flowers in spring is magnificent.

🏠Accommodation suggestion: Jinshang Yunsu·Xingsu Gaotian
The two rooms I stayed in with my friends both had large floor-to-ceiling windows and bathtubs. You can relax in a comfortable bath while enjoying the beautiful scenery. My friend said it felt like returning to his grandmother's house in the countryside.
